About Framing Pictures.

Why should the New Haven public get
their pictures framed at Cutters Art Store
Because it is for their interest so to dol
What reasons are there for supposing that
is the casea
Many and weighty!
Firstly-Mr. Cutler has a larger stock of
mouldings, greater variety and of finer
quality than any other house in the State.
Secondly-He has for twenty-four years
made diligent study of the best methods of
framing, has himself originated many of the
improvements that have been adopted by
the best trainers in the country and is always
on the alert to see and adopt any improve
ments originated by others, and his long and
active experience makes him quick to detect
the difference between real and-seeming i'm
provements.
Thirdly-His treatment of pictures is such
as to preserve them and keep them safe from
the injuries that arise from improper treat
ment by the Trainer.
Fourthly-His workmen are skillful and
conscientious, able to make the best use of
the ample resources of his shops, and his
gilders are able to do the finest work in
gold, silver and bronze.
Lastly-And this is point of Importance;
it is confidently believed that Mr. Cutler
furnishes most excellent work at prices as
low as are paid in many places for greatly
inferior work.
Those who wish pictures framed before
Christmas will do we'll to order early.

At recent meeting of the finance COM
Corporation Counsel Driscoll as to the legal
ity of the claims for medical attendance on
Chief Bollman, who was disabled while ar
resting the tough McDermott.
Mr.. Driscoll says: ''This bill has been ap-
proved and allowed by the police commits
sioners, and if it is the custom and there lie
an understanding between the police COM
missioners and the officers that the bills for
medical attendance on officers injured in the
discharge of their duty shall be paid them,

coll gives the following opinion: st am in
formed that you wish my opinion as to the

drick which is for expenses for attending
the national convention of chief engineers of
fire departments.
Gin this case there was an expressed agree
ment between the commissioners and Chief
Hendrick that he should attend the conven-
ton and that his expenses should be paid.
at is my opinion that the commissioners
acted within the scope of their authority in
having the chief attend a convention where
valuable information relating to the fire de-
partment might be obtained, and that there
fore the bill should be paid"
TIE board passed the bill. 1t amounted to

judgment" It was signed by Charles F.

MIX to Go by Boat.

The Housatonic railroad company will to-
night enter into new departure in the
transportation Of their milk to New York.
Instead of bringing the cans over the main
line to this city and those of the Shepaug
and the Danbury and Norwalk divisions to
South Norwalk, where they are picked up by
the Consolidated rord and taken to the
metropolis, those of the main line and She
paug will be taken over to the Danbury and
Norwalk division to Hawleyville and thence
to Wilson's Point, and from there they will
be sent to New York by steamboat. The
Housatonic road sends daily to New York
eight ears of milk, which pays revenue to
the Consolidated road of from $50, 600 to
$4,000 per year. Vice President aud Gen
eral Manager W. Il. Stevenson has inaugu-
rated the above system, which he is inclined
to think will work to the advantage and
profit of his road.-Bridgeport Standard.

Mr.. G. B. Bunnells old London Theater on
Broadway, New York, has doomed into a
fine success. On Thanksgiving day the tide
swept in with great rapidity and the old Lon
don was pronounced success. The receipts
on that day were nearly $4,000, sum great
er than the receipts for any one week since
the place was opened.
It is Mr.. Bunnelrs Intention to make the
old London a place where American plays
can be first brought out. He proposes to
make it the hub for American authors of
plays. At present it is hard for an American
author to get his plays produced. If the
plays are success at this theater they will
be taken ont on the circuit. There are three
performances of two hours each given now;
besides this there is the museum, which is a
great attraction. Mr.. Bunnell, who was once
one of P. T. Barnum's partners, has been told
by the latter that he is welcome to take any
of the attractions this winter to put on ex-
hibition in the old London.

NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.

Mrs. Mckee Rankin and her company in
"Ths Golden Giant" gave a very creditable
performance at the New Haven Opera House
last evening. Mrs. Rankin as "Bessie Fair
fax" made the character the child of nature
which the author intended it to be, and
played the role with an ease and grace which
is possessed by those artists only who are
born and brought up in their profession.
The supporting company is very good
one and one of its members made
decided hit Mr.. Russell Bass
sett played the part of :'Bixby"
SO very naturally and foroibly as to win him
such applause as is seldom given to minor
roles. Mr.. All Wing Sing, the first and only
English speaking Chinese actor on any stage,
made his appearance "Jim Lung" Mr..
Sing had the child like smile of his fellow
countrymen, but he did not seem to have a
particle of fun in him and therefore failed to
attract special attention. But although the
real Chinaman got no applause, the real live
baby which Mrs. Rankin sang to sleep in the
last act received a double portion. Our
theater goers have become somewhat tired of
plays representing life on the western from
tier, which fact sufficiently accounts for the
